NORWALK — Norwalk police said that an extensive investigation by the NPD Detective Bureau into an alleged assault at an August house party has resulted in the arrest of three women.

According to police, at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 22, NPD officers responded to 4 Clara Drive on the report of a fight with a stabbing victim. Officers arrived on scene to find a large house party in progress at the address.

Police said that the fight involved several females who exchanged words inside the home, which then spilled out into the street. Police did not characterize the nature of the alleged argument, but said that alcohol played a factor.

Upon arrival at the Clara Drive address, officers reported that they found 19-year-old Brittany Ferreira suffering a large laceration to her left leg. Ferreira was transported by ambulance to Norwalk Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Det. Justin Bisceglie was assigned the investigation and through what police termed an extensive investigation that included interviews with some of the 50 plus party-goers, as well a review of extensive videos, the Detective Bureau was able to obtain arrest warrants for three women.
